"The award goes to the female artist who "has shaped and inspired the music industry with her success, leadership and innovation over the past twelve months.

The singer has been named the 2014 Billboard Woman of the Year -- the first artist to ever receive the honor twice.Taylor Swift is a seven-time Grammy winner, and is the best-selling digital music artist of all time. She's also the only female artist in music history (and just the fourth artist ever) to thrice have an album hit the 1 million first-week sales figure (2010's Speak Now, 2012's Red and 2014's 1989) "

" In fact, 1989 moved 1.29 million copies in its first week, the biggest seven-day sales of any release since 2002. Swift, who turns 25 on Dec. 13, became the first artist to hit that 1 million-week milestone three times -- breaking a record not just for women or twentysomethings, but all musicians. It was an accomplishment that she engineered, maintaining worldwide ubiquity throughout 2014 with the European and Asian legs of her $150 million-earning Red Tour, a savvy and accessible social media presence, and tireless promotion, taking on everything from TV appearances to a role as New York's "global welcome ambassador." And as she made the leap from country to pop, her fans stuck by her, eager to follow an idol charting her own course. " - Billboard Magazine

" But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain And it's 2am and I'm cursing your name You're so in love that you act insane And that's the way I loved you Breakin' down and coming undone It's a roller coaster kinda rush And I never knew I could feel that much And that's the way I loved you "
